... Took part in a writing workshop at the center for women, and despite the fact that I already knew about the topics they covered, it gave me the opportunity to connect with some local women writers and I'll also get to have conversations with a marketing expert and the author of five novels to get some tips and tricks about the industry. It got me pretty inspired to start writing again if I can ever finish my dern master's classes and spend some writing time on something other than case studies and examinations of the difference between management and discipline.
... Spent a lovely afternoon walking around downtown on my own, and then met some friends for lunch at a new favorite restaurant, Gaulart-Maliclet--or as it is better known round these parts--Fast & French. And it was fast, French, and delicious! I stayed virtuous with a fruit and goat cheese plate, then went completely off the rails with the most decadent chocolate croissant I have ever stuffed in my face. Heavenly.
... Stimulated the economy with a little credit card use on King Street. Fall has been in the air lately, and I know I'm fully back to my old self, as I am no longer dreading the Fall season, but looking forward to it with great anticipation of pulling out my sweaters and boots. In honor of the crisp breeze that has been blowing here in the mornings, I shelled out the dough for these gorgeous over the knee boots. I really was going to hold off, but then the shop girls offered me 15% off the listed price, and honestly, how could I say no to that? I don't care how hot it still is next month, come October 1st, all bets are off and the Fall clothes are coming out of the closet!
... Worked my way through season 2 of The X-Files. I've talked before about my obsession with The X-Files, so imagine my surprise when I found that there were multiple episodes season 2 that I'd never seen. It was also funny seeing some future famous faces doing guest spots--including Terry O'Quinn (John Locke, Lost) and Tony Shalhoub (Monk). I'm so happy that the show has really held up over time, and with the exception of a couple cheesy special effects and Scully's HORRIBLE 90s power suits, it's just as good now as it ever was. I can't wait to start on season 3!
Oooh that lunch look simple and delicious!!! I'd like to have that today...or now would be good. ;)
LOVVVVE those boots!!! Totally worth it girl! I wish I lived there...I want to go shopping on King Street every day!!! :D

HEY!! C25K is an iPhone app for Couch to 5K. A couple people told me about it yesterday so I downloaded and it's amazing!!! It tells you when to walk and when to run over your music while you listen. I'm loving it!

I watch X Files whenever it's on TV. Such a blast from the past!
